"US Patent & Trademark Office recently issued a patent to Iomega Corp. for its work with nano-technology and optical data storage. New technology, called Articulated Optical - DVD will allow 40-100 times more data (upto 850 Gb) to be stored on a DVD with data transfer rates 5-30 times faster than today's DVDs, and at similarly low costs. AO - DVD is a novel technique of encoding data on the surface of a DVD by using reflective nano-structures to encode data in a highly multi-level format."

To be immediately followed by trademarking the term "nano-click of death".

45GB or so if I recall correctly.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Wasn't that "Get Vertical" campaign promising better storage than this?

45GB or so if I recall correctly.

Bluray's layering is quite scaleable though, I think they have 200GB discs in the labs, and with more work I believe they'd hope to get much more.

I'm sure Iomega's tech is some ways off..

The latest information talks about 100GB on a dual-layer, double-side discs, IIRC.

EDIT: Drat, beaten to it

Perpendicular, and that was HD, this is optical.
